Abstract
Three cases of Landry-Guillain-Barre syndrome in association with pregnancy are reported. In 2, the polyradiculoneuritis occurred once. The 3rd patient presented relapsing episodes during pregnancy and when taking oral contraceptives. The evolution of the disease in relation with pregnancy, labor and the possible effects on the fetus are examined. The relapsing polyradiculoneuritis provides a most appropriate case to investigate the relationship between hormonal and humoral modifications of pregnancy and the pathophysiology and etiology of polyradiculoneuritis.
